Montessori

Adam and I visited a small Christian Montessori School today.  I looked past the prayer and saw a nice little program with a diverse student body, the pricing seemed fair and I was happy to see Adam quickly come out of his shyness in the new surrounding and join their circle time and get straight to work after just like the other students.  I was then essentially slapped in the face when the director told me that it was too much work for them to take on a new student who would not continue with them in the fall.  While I appreciate that they would like students to continue at their school, it is unfortunate that it means Adam cannot attend this spring.  She said "it's March and there are only two months left in school since we only go for one week of June".  Maybe I don't want Adam to learn math from her anyway if three and a half months is seen as two months in her mind.  She has convinced me to purchase Montessori materials and resources on my own and teach my kids myself.  Bravo educator and businesswoman.

On a positive note, Iman has asked to wear undies to bed and has woken up dry for the past two nights.
